Jessica:
I think that might be my favorite Start with the 70s yet. I don't think I've heard that track before, but just feeling that bassline from a room or two away you know: Ooh, Stranglers!

Tue. 4/14/09 11:09pm
John, Lou, and Nico:
Didn't Tom just say you were reuniting The Velvet Underground tonight on the show? ( <--- stirring up trouble)

Tue. 4/14/09 11:10pm
efd:
Jessica, that is the 'BARRACUDA BASS' sound, as it says on the label. Glad you liked it!

Wonder Woman, glad to see that my regular listeners/commenteers are getting fill-ins when they can't make it.

Tue. 4/14/09 11:10pm
Brian:
Starting with these two tracks, I feel like there are friends I should be calling up to listen...

Tue. 4/14/09 11:12pm
Joe:
I have several people fill in for me when I can't make it. However they still post under "Joe".

So, like, every time I was annoying instead of funny, it was definitely someone else.

Tue. 4/14/09 11:12pm
wonder woman:
i hear she speaks very highly of you evan!!

Tue. 4/14/09 11:16pm
efd:
thanks for that clarification, "Joe."

Tue. 4/14/09 11:21pm
wonder woman:
efd i must apoligize for leaving the post board but i'll still be listening & cheri will reutrn next week,,see you 'round

Tue. 4/14/09 11:45pm
Joe:
Though it vastly improves on the original, with the addition of a gruff sounding Brooklinite going "Yeaaaah do DAT"

Tue. 4/14/09 11:46pm
Joe:
And I'm not even being sarcastic.

Tue. 4/14/09 11:47pm
john:
I don't know; much of my late grade school years were spent with Best of the Guess Who blaring away. Come to think of it that may be why I probably haven't played one of their records since about 1976.

Tue. 4/14/09 11:47pm
efd:
wonder woman, i'm almost afraid to ask because it seems the answer must be obvious, but- what is your theme song?

Tue. 4/14/09 11:47pm
dustin:
thats cool they covered this, i love this song

Tue. 4/14/09 11:50pm
stingy d:
it rained all day. then my pants ripped near the butt pocket. then i fell off my bike and ruined it. and somehwere in the frackas my wrist and hands are in enough pain to make me sad. thankfully i like these songs. where's percocet when i need it?

Tue. 4/14/09 11:50pm
wonder woman:
efd from the tv series

Tue. 4/14/09 11:51pm
Joe:
Oh no, I'm not slamming the Guess Who. I saw Randy Bachman IN CONCERT, for crying out loud. But yes... I think the term "played out" could apply.

Tue. 4/14/09 11:53pm
larsbars:
Yeah, you're right about American Woman. I like it.

Tue. 4/14/09 11:57pm
wonder woman:

toni daytona:

Laurie:
I'm pretty sure the video for this Louis XIV video was directed by a pornographer buddy of mine, Eon McKai. No, not that Ian MacKaye.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:08am
efd:
i actually meant to play a different song off that CD... the track listing on the woman's back always throws me off.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:09am
Joe:
Someday, my life will be interesting enough for me to use the phrase "a pornographer buddy of mine."

I hope.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:11am
eastahpeeps:
F yeah!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:14am
Amanda:
I just hope to do more of my reading off of the backs of naked people.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:17am
Laurie:
I just watched the video he shot for Louis XIV to confirm that it was boobs only, nothing below the belt. It is. It's pretty softcore, but I will not link to it since it is NSFW for most people. Though it is after work hours.

One of the naked girls in the video, the prettiest one, went on to become an au pair. For real.

And my life isn't that interesting. But I think I missed my chance to actually be in one of his pornos. Oh well, never say never, right?

Wed. 4/15/09 12:23am
Danne D:
Hey EFD! FWIW, I had a college roommate who listened to Public Enemy's "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" constantly (the funny thing is that with time and not a constant barrage I see it for the masterpiece that it is). Of course I was listenting to shit like The Nice at the time so I don't exactly have range to talk ;)

Btw, Trader Funk I should protest those league trades since you're like the smartest dude in the league and must be ripping those other dudes off (even though my very limited baseball knowledge makes me wholly unqualified to evaluate said trades :)

Wed. 4/15/09 12:40am
Joe:
Oh and Davies I'm going to thank you again for snagging to Obits... so pumped for that show.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:40am
Laurie:
Evan, you may be interested to know that King Khan brought the Jacuzzi Boys onstage when they played the Vagabond here in Miami last month. The show went on 'til well into 4 am.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:41am
dave:
just this weekend i was sitting at the next table from some guy at a restaurant who was talking with some authority about how TERRIBLY difficult it was for dave pirner to deal with the success of 'runaway train' and to go to the white house and meet the president and, i dunno, get strung out on smack and sleep with winona ryder and the myriad other horrors he endured.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:42am
Joe:
That might be the funniest story I've heard all week.

Wow. Just wow.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:46am
robroy:
i don't know what to say...

Wed. 4/15/09 12:50am
Amanda:
The poor man! And none of those missing kids from the video were found, either. (Actually, they might have been, I don't know.)

Wed. 4/15/09 12:51am
dave:
the lesson i got from it was that if you're looking to impress a dining companion and you've got nothing, you can always strip-mine "behind the music" for conversational source material.

Dean Rispler:
EVAN! Thanks for playing Kraftwerk. I love them. Are you going to any of The Mummies gigs? I hope to see you there.

Wed. 4/15/09 12:53am
inE:
PERFECT!

Wed. 4/15/09 12:58am
inE:
do you know the "coconut" version of this song?
is fantastic..
lots of love

Wed. 4/15/09 1:10am
efd:
Dean, it could be seen as a conflict of interest since my employer is promoting it. But I can talk about it all I want on Facebook! :)

Wed. 4/15/09 1:12am
Dean Rispler:
I understand. I bought Anvil's Metal On Metal in '82. I was a 12 year old metal nerd. Now I'm a 38 year old metal nerd. Though I like a lot of other things. Can't wait for that movie. I slept on it when it premiered at BAM.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:16am
The Man:
Conflicts of Interest are only bad when someone other than me benefits.

oh man, i was thinking the same thing EFD! television guitar

Wed. 4/15/09 1:16am
Joe:
SO CLICHE EVAN

Wed. 4/15/09 1:17am
Joe:
Kidding! Kidding.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:17am
efd:
Joe, that was one of your fill-ins, right? ;)

Wed. 4/15/09 1:19am
G.:
That was definitely annoying fake Joe. :-P

Wed. 4/15/09 1:21am
Joe:
Hey, if I had an FMU show, I'd play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and just let people DEAL with it, man.\

I am not even joking. Good songs is good songs! And that, sir, is a good song.

So is this one.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:22am
Amanda:
This song embarrasses me because of a Facebook-related story that is probably too long to relate here. But yes, it is good!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:24am
Dean Rispler:
Wow! This version of Frankenstein kicks ass! A high school band nonetheless.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:25am
G.:
In the late 70s people used to stress test their speakers on the synth solo in the original version of this. Someone actually blew a set out in my dorm doing it. I wonder if the marching band version would work.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:27am
dave:
when your high school has "dorsey" in the name, there's a certain amount of pressure on your jazz ensemble's horn section.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:28am
Joe:
I went to John Phillip Sousa elementary school.

Our band was terrible.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:28am
Amanda:
Hahahaha!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:29am
dave:
i just sets 'em up. Joe knocks 'em out of the park.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:41am
Laurie:
I was impatient and couldn't wait for you to fill out the rest of the accuplaylist, Apparently it's not just Flying Nun, but all of NZ. This was actually the comp I was thinking of.

This is seriously one of my favorite songs ever. This is a pretty good cover, but nothing can compare to the original for me. I mentioned how Allen Oldies Band will be my wedding band at my imaginary wedding? And I'm not one of those girls who dreams of dresses and cakes and grooms and shit, but I do think about wedding music, and the DJ would definitely play this song while Allen Oldies took a breather or something.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:42am
Laurie:
I mean, the original Chris Knox version of course.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:44am
chris:
chocolate snow's a winner.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:55am
Laurie:
Bedtime was, like, a half hour ago. I fear I've overshared more than I usually do!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:56am
Danne D:
nite evan, great show!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:58am
Dean Rispler:
Yes, Evan. It was a great show. Thanks so much and have a great night. I hope to see you soon. I will be at TG on Thursday and definitely at The Mummies at Maxwell's. Hopefully I will see you at one of those.

Wed. 4/15/09 1:59am
efd:
thanks Danne! I'll do a fantasy baseball update next week... I know you weren't really serious, but I will say that there are enough other smart baseball minds in our league that I would totally get called out if I was trying to snake someone in a trade!

Wed. 4/15/09 1:59am
efd:
thanks, Dean - I'm actually going to be visiting my Mom for her birthday so no shows for me, but I'm sure I'll run into you soon!

Wed. 4/15/09 2:01am
Joe:
Great show!

OBITS!
